Thanks!
Yesterday evening I left my window open as usual and was actually happy to see that he had returned and is now asleep on top of my curtain!
I'll post a picture of him if that's permitted on the forum.
I don't feed him inside or by hand, instead I put food on the bird table outside.

Today he was back in my lounge on the curtain rail, and I went out to walk someone's dogs. When I came home, I heard no chirping and assumed he'd flown but unfortunately I found him dead in the lavatory. I am absolutely gutted beyond words. Some may say it was only a bird but he was more than that. It was a life that nearly made it but because of a stupid mistake, he's now gone.
I've buried him in the field, and am not ashamed to say I shed a few tears as I really loved the little guy.

I found a baby bird on the way home today. It was on the road in a high traffic area. Ordinarily I would leave baby birds in a nearby bush or attempt to find the nest, but there was nothing around, not even a patch of grass! I suspect human or animal intervention may have gotten the bird there.

Anyway, having no safe place to leave it I decided to take it home and I got in touch with several local wildlife sanctuaries. I was able to identify the bird (with some help) as a bluetit, less than 7 days old as it is mostly naked and has not yet opened its eyes.

To my surprise NONE of the local wildlife sanctuaries were interested at all! None would take it off my hands, they all claimed that a bird this young takes too much time to hand raise and will probably die anyway. Most just recommended taking it to the nearest park and hoping it survives!

My ONLY hope for this creature now is to try to keep it alive myself which I know isn't ideal, but I will do what I can. I am feeding it regularly and it is eating well.

Feed every 15 minutes if you can. You can pause feeding while its dark and prolong that period if you have somewhere dark you can put the bird, such as a cupboard, overnight. Feed slightly moistened cat food. Can you let me know where you are and which rescues you have already tried and i will try to find you a more helpful one.

probably on the wrong part of site but desperate for advice. I need to return a fledgeling crow to where it was rescued as a. (cat would not leave it alone). I have had it now for 12 hours. If I return it to the location it was found. Will parents still come back eg 24 hrs after to look for it. (I have experience rearing birds so it has been fed etc.) I can put it on a high branch near where it was located there are lots of cats in area but if there is a chance parents will still be looking for it after 24hrs may be ok. Thanks for any advice. ( it is ununjured as cat did not get it)
